First Real ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 6 Footage Shows Us Jon Snow’s….

Game of Thrones is returning to HBO for its sixth season in a little over two weeks, so it’s time to finally get some juicy sneak peeks. Last night,Liam Cunningham, aka Ser Davos Seaworth, stopped by Conan to talk about the time George R.R. Martin told him a big spoiler, the danger of snipers, and… Oh, you just want to get to the new footage? Okay. Cool.

***WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHOY!***

If you skip to about 1:45, you see Conan O’Brien introduce the first real non-trailer footage from the new season. The scene picks up from the eerie end of the show’s latest red band trailer. Ser Davos takes out Jon Snow’s Valyrian steel sword Longclaw and prepares to fight? But whom is he fighting? What’s going on?!?!?

It seems that Ser Davos is teaming up with Ghost and some loyal members of the Night’s Watch to protect the corpse of Jon Snow. Ser Alliser Thorne, Olly, and more of the traitorous traitors are prepared to break down the door to get to the remains of Snow’s mortal coil.

Cunningham and O’Brien joked that the scene would contain no spoilers, but it does offer a lot for us to speculate about. Yesterday, HBO revealed the title of the premiere, “The Red Woman,” and released this description: “Jon Snow is dead. Daenerys meets a strong man. Cersei sees her daughter again.” That, coupled with the fact that Kit Harington‘s name is not on the official season six cast list has led some to believe that Jon Snow might in fact be dead. But do you know who we know is dead? Cersei’s daughter. Just like the night is dark and full of terrors, we believe that HBO’s official episode descriptions are full of riddles and lies.

Which brings us around to this promotional scene. Why would the Night’s Watch loyalists want to protect Jon Snow’s corpse at all costs? Why would Ser Alliser and the traitors be willing to resort to violence to get to it? Maybe because, I don’t know, a certain “Red Woman” knows how to harness the power of the God of Light to bring people back from the dead???
